This is a Greene King pub close to South Benfleet station. It was packed on our early Saturday evening visit with some rowdy Essex locals, both young and old. Some may have found the atmosphere a little intimidating. Football was showing on the TV. There were plenty of bar staff. But getting served was a challenge. Greene King IPA is a regular beer. Guests were Morland Old Speckled Hen, Sharp's Doom Bar & Wadworth Swordfish. There's a nice garden area just over the opposite side of the car park, which is pay and display.

My first visit here to coincide with a football match on Canvey.
Decent Barras managed pub, a short walk from Benfleet station.
4 pumps dispensing, GK IPA, Adnams Broadside (which was a decent pint), Courage Best and 1 other ale.
Friendly bar staff with quick service, nice enough pub with well kept beers.

A nice-looking old pub (the building is partly 15th century apparently) with about 4 or 5 hand pump ales available when I visited. I opted for Adnam's Broadside, which proved very good.
My only complaint was that no food was available after 9:00 pm (which was shortly before I arrived). I know this is a common policy but it seems crazy to me when people are starving hungry and want to order food not to be a bit more flexible with the hours rather than operating a strict cut-off at 9:00. If restaurants can stay open until 11:00 or midnight, why not pubs?

Given the size of the pub the bar area is too small; bar manageress not the friendliest either. Outside garden area is big but plagued with insects.
Putting that all aside, it is a good pub with decent range of drinks and never seen any trouble there. Is most expensive of the three in Benfleet which might explain my last observation.

Known this pub for over 40 years..Great pub, great beer... what else can you say ??

A very nice pub, been here a few times and the locals are very friendly and never witnessed any kinds of trouble.
The food I have ordered has always been served after a reasonable amount of time and in good condition.
As one other user has mentioned, the large beer garden makes it the perfect pub for those long summer evenings. Highly recommended. Only downside are the quite high prices compared to the two other pubs close by.

great pub, friendly staff, good atmosphere, lovely garden area.

Nice little pub. When I'm back in the area I pop in now and again for a few drinks with friends. The variety of drinks is good although it can look a little dark in there at times and the ceilings are quite low. All in all a good pub. I reccommend it!

This 500 year old listed pub is well worth a visit. It has a selection of real ales (I had the Adnams Broadside) and it serves food until 9.30pm.

Delightful old ramshackle inn built on the site of the Battle of Benfleet. Served Landlord in very tasty condition.
